    This thread is inspiring me to get back to the gym. It's been over ten years, and for the most of that I was lucky enough to live in places where just living kept the weight off. For example, San Francisco without a car leaves you walking/biking up and down massive hills and climbing endless staircases. Now that I'm in New York and have a desk job I've gained so much weight and feel fat, even though my friends say I'm not. It's just that I'm really soft and am simply out of shape.

    I need to find a way of working out that doesn't feel like, well, working out. I used to enjoy racquetball matches for that reason. I'm also just intimidated by gyms here where the beautiful people run side-by-side like a scene from Gattaca. Not my thing.

    • I have never been in a gym in my life! I just got sick of working all the time and feeling like shit. So I gave it a shot.rson

    • NY Roadrunners! Just do a bunch of the 4 mile runs in the park. It's really nice, and motivating.stoplying
    • 4 miles!? Ugh, my lungs would collapse after 1/4 mile. I'd have to work up to that.monospaced
    • Trust me...if I can do it. Anyone can!stoplying
